Gambled a 2nd Bartuc's!

Hi,

so, while I'm still planning my Assasin's skill layout, I went gambling
with my level 89 ThrowBarb in NM diff. Hoping for some nice claws and ammus
or circlets, shop guy drops me a second Bartuc's Cutthroat on my first 3
millions.
With a mere level 42 requirement, two Bartuc's will easily get my assi
through Nightmare diff. A total of +4 all assi and +2 martial arts skill is
a nice addition.

Regards,

Oliver

Nice one. I think the best thing i've ever gambled and will ever gamble
has been a 29 resist Maras with my 89 blizz sorc in act5 hell.

For most MA builds, Bartuc's are even the best claws. Only Tiger Strike
and Dragon Claw benefit from claws with higher damage and less usefull
modifiers.

I know nothing about MA Assasin's and the related tactics, but I suppose
this can be fixed by upgrade the Bartuc's, if need be?

Which will give you probably the best of both worlds?

Regards,

Patrick.

The tiny increase damage wise is usually not worth the runes:

Standard Bartuc's: 77 - 137 (150%) to 88 - 155 (200%)
Upgraded Bartuc's: 85 - 160 (150%) to 97 - 182 (200%)

yeah, this was one of the first things I checked. And str/dex goes up to
115 as well (also this should be quite easily reachable).

Both claws are exactly medium at 172 and 173% ED.
